Abstract: Vacuum ultraviolet radiation detection apparatus (10) comprises a radiation detector (30) in a chamber (12). The detector (30) receives ultraviolet radiation from a radiation source (36). The chamber is evacuated using a dry vacuum pump (18) to a relatively poor vacuum of no less than 5 Pa. UV transparent gas is supplied from a gas supply (26), into the chamber (12) at a relatively low flow rate (around 0.1 litres/minute) so as to provide an overall pressure in the chamber (12) of between 100 and 1,000 Pa. The use of a relatively inexpensive pump coupled with a lower gas flow rate provides significant cost savings.

Abstract: A spectrometry instrument, e.g., for time-resolved spectroscopy, has quick-change exchangeable accessories (48, 50, 52) which are manually attached via rotation of a camming means to engage and lock a stud member. A circuit element in each accessory (48, 50, 52), such as a resistor or a configured pin connection, acts to generate a voltage in the instrument that uniquely identifies which accessory is attached. A method for measuring a phosphorescence decay characteristic includes applying an excitation pulse to a sample (34); obtaining emission intensity data for a sequence of time delays following the excitation pulse; repeating for at least one further excitation pulse using a different sequence of time delays; and interleaving the data from different excitation pulses to construct a decay characteristic.

Abstract: Improved devices, systems (14), and methods for sensing and/or identifying signals from within a signal detection region are well-suited for identification of spectral codes. Large numbers of independently identifiable spectral codes can be generated by quite small bodies (12a, 12b), and a plurality of such bodies or probes (12a, 12b) may be present within a detection region. Simultaneously imaging of identifiable spectra (60) from throughout the detection region allows the probes (12a, 12b) to be identified. As the identifiable spectra can be treated as being generated from a point source within a much larger detection field, a prism, diffractive grading, holographic transmissive grading, or the like (56) can spectrally disperse the images of the labels across a sensor surface. A CCD (18) can identify the relative wavelengths of signals making up the spectra. Absolute signal wavelengths may be determined by determining positions of the labels, by an internal wavelength reference within the spectra (60), or the like.

Abstract translation: 改进的设备，系统（14）以及用于从信号检测区域内感测和/或识别信号的方法非常适合于识别频谱代码。 大量可独立识别的频谱代码可由相当小的物体（12a，12b）产生，并且多个这样的物体或探针（12a，12b）可存在于检测区域内。 同时来自整个检测区域的可识别光谱（60）的成像允许识别探针（12a，12b）。 由于可识别光谱可以被视为在更大的检测场内从点光源产生，所以棱镜，衍射渐变，全息透射渐变等（56）可以使标签的图像在传感器表面上光谱分散。 CCD（18）可以识别组成光谱的信号的相对波长。 绝对信号波长可以通过确定标签的位置，光谱（60）内的内部波长参考等来确定。

Abstract: Characteristics of a flame within a turbine or burner are determined based upon ultraviolet, visible, and infrared measurements of the flame. The measurements include a measurement of the amplitute of frequency bands that are indicative of an efficient combustion process, such as those that increase when the flame temperature increases. The measurements also include of the amplitude of frequency bands that are indicative of an inefficient combustion process, such as those that do not vary, increase a relatively small amount, or decrease when the flame temperature increases. The temperature of the flame may therefore be determined accurately, to facilitate efficient operation of the turbine or burner while minimizing polluting emissions. A fiber structure, suitable for remote location of sensors and processing equipment passes energy for several spectra by providing a hollow core that passes infrared energy, in combination with a core of visible-transmissive material that passes visible or ultraviolet energy. Contaminants in the turbine or burner are detected, and a degree of contamination measured, by detection of energy levels for particular wavelengths associated with a respective contaminant.
